what was the goals of malcolm x of the kkk?

Answer 1

Malcolm X did not belong to the KKK He opposed it.

He was MALCOLM LITTLE, (MUSLIM NAME) EL-HAJJ MALIK EL-SHABAZZ, known as Malcolm X, a black militant leader who articulated concepts of race pride and black nationalism in the early 1960s.

Growing up in Lansing, Mich., Malcolm saw his house burned down at the hands of the white supremacist Ku Klux Klan. Two years later his father was murdered, and Malcolm's mother was subsequently placed in a mental institution. Malcolm spent the following years in detention homes, and in his early teens he moved to Boston to live with his sister. In 1946, while in prison for burglary, he was converted to the Black Muslim faith (Nation of Islam); this sect professed the superiority of black people and the inherent evil of whites. Released from prison in 1952, Malcolm went to Nation of Islam headquarters in Chicago, met the sect's leader, Elijah Muhammad, and embraced its rigorous asceticism. He changed his last name to "X," a custom among Nation of Islam followers who considered their family names to have originated with white slaveholders.

Malcolm X was sent on speaking tours around the country and soon became the most effective speaker and organizer for the Nation of Islam. He founded many new mosques and greatly increased the movement's membership. In 1961 he founded Muhammad Speaks, the official publication of the movement. He was eventually assigned to be minister of the important Mosque Number Seven in New York City's Harlem area.

Speaking with bitter eloquence against the white exploitation of black people, Malcolm developed a brilliant platform style, which soon won him a large and dedicated following. He derided the civil-rights movement and rejected both integration and racial equality, calling instead for black separatism, black pride, and black self-dependence. Because he advocated the use of violence (for self-protection) and appeared to many to be a fanatic, his leadership was rejected by most civil-rights leaders, who emphasized nonviolent resistance to racial injustice.

Malcolm X described the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (Nov. 22, 1963) as a "case of chickens coming home to roost"--an instance of the kind of violence that whites had long used against blacks. Malcolm's success had by this time aroused jealousy within the Black Muslim hierarchy, and, in response to his comments on the Kennedy assassination, Elijah Muhammad suspended Malcolm from the movement. In March 1964 Malcolm X left the Nation of Islam and announced the formation of his own religious organization. As a result of a pilgrimage he took to Mecca in April 1964, he modified his views of black separatism, declaring that he no longer believed whites to be innately evil and acknowledging his vision of the possibility of world brotherhood. In October 1964 he reaffirmed his conversion to orthodox Islam.

Growing hostility between Malcolm's followers and the rival Black Muslims manifested itself in violence and threats against his life. He was shot to death at a rally of his followers at a Harlem ballroom. Three Black Muslims were convicted of the murder.

Answer 2

Malcolm X was many things, but he was not a member of the Klu Klux Klan. His hands would have given him away, even if he had been wearing a hood.

Answer 3

Do you mind if I let out one huge sigh?

Malcolm X never advocated the killing of all white people. What he said was if white people came for him with a gun then he would respond to them with a gun. That's far from wanting to kill them all.

The goal of the whites in the South was simply to keep themselves on top and someone else, the blacks, beneath them.

Ironically, Malcolm X stated that he trusted the whites of the South far more than the whites of the North. He said that at least with the whites in the South you knew where they stood and they would tell you their truths and beliefs right to your face. However, in his mind, the whites in the North were all hypocrites because they would chant peace and freedom but would then bar blacks from living next door to them.
